3. Your Opinion:

What is your response? One reader responded as follows:
I think that life without parole should be eliminated as a possible sentence for juveniles. Young people are far more likely to be rehabilitated than adults.
A 17-year-old offender, if sentenced to life in prison, will become the responsibility of the state for the rest of their life, which might go on for another 60 years or more. It seems much more cost-effective to try to turn such offenders into productive members of society, even if there’s more cost upfront.
